On Tuesday evening, March 11, I attended the first of a 7 week small group presented by my church and the topic was The Peace Making Church written by . The focus of this class was the 4 G's: God-centered response to conflict. When conflict comes into our lives:
Glorify God (1 Cor. 10:31)- Think about what would be pleasing and honorable to God before your speak
Get the log out of your eye (Matt 7:5) Taking responsibility for your part of the conflict with Jesus' work in your mind.
Gently restore (Gal. 6:1 - Help others to take responsibility of their contribution of the conflict in a loving way.
Go and be reconciled (Matt 5:24) - Work out a reasonable solution demonstrating God's forgiveness.
The hostess of this study group was the most bravest woman I have ever met. She revealed things about her life that I don't know if I would have told anyone about. Her ability to share was a very courageous act and showed that God had truly helped her to move her life into purpose. She was a true testimony of the power of faith.
